Mr. Heiner Herz:

In Ireland and in the world the difference is called the breakage rate and it is influenced by road conditions, winters, etc. On average in Ireland glass is broken once every eight years. That varies according to speed and traffic conditions. We found no issues with glass installed first hand by the constructors, who have rigorous control systems that often rely on robots. The main issue arose in respect of the 500 previously replaced windscreens, which is known as the after market segment and is where Belron Autoglass operates.
